I usually turn my tags into cards so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! Two fabulous tags turned into two wonderful cards!

Wow, you turned the gorgeous tags into fabulous Christmas cards, Bonnie! I love the colors and effects of Inka Gold Smoosh background. The scored frame is a really nice touch.
The marble patterns of the second card/tag is beautiful and Emerald Envy is perfect for the AI colors used. The tree is sooo pretty! I could hear the joy of the tags, getting a new life!

I just realized I didn't comment on this the other day when I first saw it. I clicked over and watched the demo video again and got sidetracked. This is just truly stunning. That smooshed background knocks my socks off and the colors are so gorgeous. I love the glitter frame and lovely silver cord.

Have a Merry Christmas! Hugs, Trina

You have turned these tags into two beautiful cards Bonnie using that lovely strong green as a background card and that dry embossed framing really works. x
